oxaliplatin plus capecitabine in the perioperative treatment of locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma

Conditions: Gastric Adenocarcinoma

Summary: 1. target population:locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (lagc, ct2\~3/n+m0,or ct4an+m0);no previous chemo or radio therapy. 2. primary objective:response rate of xelox in the neoadjuvant setting of lagc. secondary objectives: * the progression free survival (pfs) in the perioperative treatment of locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (ct3/n+m0,or ct4an+m0); * percentage of pathological response ; percentage of grade 3 or 4 adverse events as safety profile of perioperative treatments; * d2 resection -rate after neoadjuvant chemotherapy of xelox; * overall survival; * qol during the whole period of treatment. 3. trial design:this is a multicenter, single arm, open-label, phase ii study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin plus capecitabine(xelox) in the perioperative treatment of locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma in combination with d2 resection. 4. treatment plan:patients will be given the perioperative chemotherapy as below once recruited:schedule of oxaliplatin plus capecitabine (xelox) will be as follow: capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 ，bid,d 1\~14 every 3 weeks(treatment for 2 weeks and rest 1 week)oxaliplatin：130mg/m2， iv infusion over 2h，d1,every 3 weeks. 5. number of subjects:50 patients.number of centers 5 sites, which have the high volume of gastric operations in china, more than 500 per year.

1. disease specific inclusion criteria: * histologically documented gastricadenocarcinoma with lauren classification clinically diagnosed stage t2-3/n+m0,ort4an+m0 according to ct/mri scan, and resectable * measurable disease is required * karnofsky score 80%. * physical condition and adequate organ function to ensure the success of abdominal surgery. * life expectancy ≥12 weeks. * adequate hematological function: neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/l, platelets ≥ 100 × 109/l and hemoglobin ≥8g/dl .adequate liver function: total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (uln); ast (sgot) and alt (sgpt) \< 2.5 × uln in the absence of liver metastases, or \< 5 × uln in case of liver metastases. alp ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal (uln); alb ≥30g/l. adequate renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 1.25 x uln, and creatinine clearance ≥ 60 ml/min. * female subjects should not be pregnant or breast-feeding. * no serious concomitant disease that will threaten the survival of patients to less than 5 years. 2. general inclusion criteria: * male or female. age ≥ 18 years and ≤75 years * written (signed) informed consent. * able to comply with study and follow-up procedures. * good compliance with the treatment plan。 * consent to provide tissue sample。
